Technical Abstract

A method for accessing an access point by a station device, a device, and a system. A station device selects a master access point from multiple access points according to channel quality and accesses the master access point, and sends information about remaining access points to the master access point, so that the master access point selects a slave access point according to the information about the remaining access points.
